A sound suppressor for a shotgun comprising a barrel is disclosed. The sound suppressor includes an outer frame, an inner hollow body including openings, a gas expansion area and a barrel attachment arrangement for attaching the sound suppressor onto the barrel. The sound suppressor is configured in such a way that when the sound suppressor is in use, the barrel is inside the outer frame and the shot of the shotgun passes through the inner hollow body, and the gases from the exploding propellant expand into the gas expansion area. The barrel attachment arrangement includes a first attachment part, a second attachment part, and a moving arrangement. The first attachment part is fixed to the frame, and the second attachment part is moved by the moving arrangement, which presses against the barrel to hold the sound suppressor in place.

A device for holding and loading shotgun shells is provided. The device includes a resilient pad having a front side with a pair of openings for receiving, retaining, and releasing a pair of shells into the barrel of a shotgun. The openings include a plurality of expansion joints to assist with the loading and unloading of shells into a gun. An annular groove extends around a base of each opening for resiliently and frictionally retaining the rim of a shell therein. An opposing end of the pad includes a laterally projecting tab portion formed with an aperture therethrough for a user of the holding device to manually grasp and manipulate said device. The expansion joints and material of the pad facilitate the insertion and release of the shells, whereas the groove and size of the openings serve to frictionally retain the shells within the device.
